Cisco Systems to build its chapeau-Vidéo infrastructure company on Thursday with the DPE (Enterprise Content Delivery System), a logiciel-matériel platform gestion vidéo euh to facilitate the making and distribution of une vidéo efficiently to remote locations.

ECD is part of the overall strategy designed Medianet de Cisco architecture, euh many aspects of production and automate delivery of video for employees, customers and partners. The company’s vision for this specification since 2006 with a view to promoting new ways of working and the growing demands of the network une come to that with them.

The purpose of the ECD is to distribute company live and on-demand video, a large number of users and locations. It can be used to dozens or thousands of users to support thousands of sites dans, afin de Cisco. For example, the Système live video to send to an office and then it split dans le ruisseau une place this in a single data stream for each of the members since 10th This eliminates the need to Meurent flux 10 to send over an expensive WAN (Wide Area Network) connection, said Cisco.

ECD consists of software, Meurent on a new two devices, Meurent Media Delivery Engine 3100 and 1100, or on a virtual on a sheet of Cisco WAAS (Wide Area Application Services) platform can be executed. The MDE 3100 can scale up to 5,000 concurrent users, MDE en Meurent 1100-500 user and the MDE 50WVB to 200 users.

Part of the purpose of ECD is to minimize the effects of a too vidéo sur corporate network, euh tassez Meurent costs for expanding video usage throughout the organization. It contains Cisco WAAS demande Acceleration and software, cache-ability. For example, companies can distribute pre-recorded video while the outside of peak hours, if not they must be immediately inspected, said Cisco. ECD can also à la demande caching, which is a local copy of a video put aside for the first time une place to prevent one, that can be downloaded over the WAN on subsequent visits.

In addition to the care of many different video applications from Cisco and other companies, Meurent platform works with multiple formats including H.264, Flash, Windows Media et. It can also assist with distribution of video on third-party customers, including tablets and mobile devices are used.

Many companies have several forms of video on different systems that they want to consolidate, afin de Forrester Research analyst Henry Dewing-. For example, you can create a archive of training videos, video conferencing systems for executives and another set of video services for customers. These can all on separate systems from different manufacturers running, he said. Cisco Enterprise Vidéo portfolio, the broadest of any party appeals, une Some of these organizations, Dewing said.

Etait Cisco has not yet, is demanding to video editing and an ability to use simple interface Gestion, Dewing said. Édition functions integrated into the network guerre part of the original vision of Medianet for Cisco, but it’s just been était provided fairly, he said. Given the narrowing of Cisco focus on core products, Meurent already une the downfall of Caméscope flip chapeau de done this, the company can take a step back attempt by competing in a field already full of editing tools, Dewing said. User interfaces are a long-standing issue for Cisco, he added. “They are always there, but still you are not Apple,” said Dewing.

Routers

A router is a physical layer networking device that joins multiple networks together.

Switches

A switch is a small device that joins multiple computers together at a low-level network protocol layer.

Wireless

Wireless networks provide wireless communication over short distances using radio or infrared signals instead of traditional network cabling.

Load Balancers

A load balancer is a device used to spread work between computer and network resources in order to achieve optimal resources.

To control information recorded recently proposed new Cisco devices in the streets and public places in the Chinese city of Chongqing. Chongqing is one of five major cities in China directly administered by the federal government and has a population of more than $ 30 million. (We all need to check our geography of China.)

What I find in the presentation of this “police state” of the project is ironic as follows:

While the press often criticized the Chinese government to award contracts to local suppliers such as Huawei, no one praised the government for choosing a foreign supplier.

As Huawei is closely linked with the Chinese army, it is interesting to me that a foreign supplier for a project monitoring will be used, and I doubt it was a question of quality materials and based about the internal politics of China. (Huawei Cisco’s main competitor in China.)

All major cities in the developed world has less than 24 hours of surveillance cameras in an effort to thwart terrorism, Chongqing is only supposed to join the list of other states in the Miami police, Tokyo and London.

This is the new world in which we live call for a specific project, a police state shows the trend reports of the United States.

Cisco Systems has its video infrastructure company on Thursday to build with EDC (Enterprise Content Delivery System) to a platform hardware and software for easy management of video distribution and video to remote sites more efficiently.

ECD is part of the overall architecture of the Cisco Medianet, designed to automate many aspects of video production and distribution to employees, partners and customers. The company supports the development of this vision since 2006 with the intention of the new ways of working and growing demand on the network that come with them.

The aim of EDC is to help companies to distribute live video and on demand to a large number of sites and users. It can be used to support tens of thousands of users at thousands of locations, so Cisco. For example, the system can send live video to a subject in a stream, then place it in a single stream of 10 people split there. This eliminates the need to feed 10 to the face of WAN (Wide Area Network) connection to send, said Cisco.

DPE is a software that can be run in one of two new aircraft, the engine of the diffusion of media 3100 and 1100, or on a sheet in a Cisco WAAS platform (Virtual Wide Area Application Services). The PE 3100 can be up to 5000 concurrent users, the user 1100-500 MDE and MDA-200 extended 50WVB users.

Part of the objective of minimizing the impact of ECD Video on the company network in order to allay the cost of expanding the use of video throughout the organization. Cisco WAAS application acceleration including software and provides a cache function. For example, companies can distribute pre-recorded video during hours when they are immediately visible, said Cisco. EDC can also provide on-demand caching, with the exception of a copy of a video for the first time you see a place to avoid the download over the WAN in the future reference.

In addition to treating many different video applications from Cisco and other companies, the platform works with various formats such as H.264, Flash and Windows Media. You can also use the video distribution to customers of other mobile devices, including tablets.

Many companies have different types of video they want to consolidate disparate systems, Forrester Research analyst Henry Dewing. For example, an archive of training videos, a video conferencing system for managers and a range of video products for customers. All that can be run on separate systems from different vendors, he said. Cisco portfolio of video, more than any other supplier, is attractive to some of these organizations, Dewing said.

Cisco does not have advanced video editing and easy to use management interface, Dewing said. Editing functions are integrated in the network was part of the original vision of Cisco Medianet, but what is to be held easily, he said. Given the narrowness of the Cisco approach for the goods, which resulted in the disappearance of the Flip camcorders, the company can take a step back, trying to enter a field already full machine tools to the competition, said Dewing. User interfaces are a long-term problem for Cisco, said. “They’re coming, but Apple has not,” said Dewing.

ECD is now at U.S. $ 4,395 for a virtual sheet and $ 10 595 for a WAAS device MDE.

Mobile operators will increase mobile data traffic 26 times between 2010 and 2015 according to the latest forecast from “Cisco Visual Networking Index. Will wireless carriers be ready for it?

That’s the big question. The prediction of strong increases in traffic load is not totally unexpected. Wireless carriers have been preparing for the traffic increases, adding more capacity not only of their radio networks, but also on the new route networks that carry traffic from Internet radio towers.

By 2015, Cisco says that mobile data traffic will increase to 6.3 exabytes of data or about 1 billion gigabytes of data per month. The report indicates that two thirds of the data traffic in mobile networks in 2015 will come from video services. This trend follows a similar trend in the growth of traditional broadband traffic. And it suggests that as networks get faster wireless devices, more processing power with larger screens and better, people are increasingly more video on the fly.

“What we’re seeing here is a true convergence,” said Doug Webster, senior director of marketing for “Cisco worldwide service provider. “We talked about this for a long time, but reality is starting to happen, where people are doing all the things they used to do in broadband connections at home when you are driving.”

But according to the results of Cisco, the mobile data traffic is growing faster than the traditional fixed broadband based. In 2010, the data traffic grew by 159 percent, which is about 3.3 times faster than traditional fixed broadband. And it was higher than the growth rate of 149 percent of Cisco had predicted in previous reports Visual Networking Index. However, over the next five years, growth should decrease, the Cisco report says. For example, annual growth rates are expected to range from 131 percent in 2011 to 64 percent in 2015.

So what is driving the growth? The main driver of the first is the proliferation of mobile devices, said Suraj Shetty, vice president of marketing for Cisco. Last year, the rate of Cisco’s installed base expected to increase smartphone 22 percent in 2010, but data from Informa Telecoms and Media says the number of smartphones in use grew 32 percent during the year, Cisco said .

Besides the increased adoption of smartphones, there was a sharp rise of smartphones that have the highest usage profile: iPhones and Android phones. The number of iPhones and Android in use grew 72 percent in 2010, bringing the combined share of IOS and Android smartphones 23 percent versus 11 percent in 2009.

And the trend is only expected to continue, especially as other smartphones devices that are added to the mix. By 2015, it is expected that 5.6 million mobile and 1.5 billion from machine to machine devices in the world. These devices include mobile phones and cameras connected to the Internet, grid-connected cars, tablets, laptops and devices.

In addition to simply have more devices connected to wireless networks, most of these devices also have better computing capabilities, he said Shetty. We’re starting to do with smartphones running dual-core processors. The screens of mobile devices are also becoming bigger and clearer. Not only are the tablets came to the scene, but smart phones are getting larger and more capable of computing devices available today.

Network speeds are also increasing, as mobile operators move to new generations of technology. In the U.S. wireless operators are talking about their wireless networks “4G”, which can provide download speeds of anywhere between 5 Mbps and 20 Mbps, depending on the technology used. T-Mobile USA and AT & T have their HSPA +. And Verizon Wireless has its LTE network. (AT & T also plans to launch an LTE network this year.) And Sprint Nextel offers a WiMax network.

Report Cisco says the network doubled in 2010 and speeds will only increase over the next five years with average download speeds of 10-fold increase expected in 2015.

Networks faster, higher capacity devices with better displays, and the simple fact that no more devices in five years means that wireless consumers to use more resources.

“There will be more devices with larger screens and better processors that allow multiple applications running simultaneously, and the predominant type of network traffic will be video,” said Shetty. “These trends are all united and have a significant impact on the network.”

What it means for mobile operators is that they need to find a way to keep up with increasing demands on their networks. In the wireless world, the need to keep up with growing demand means a need for more wireless spectrum. Companies like T-Mobile says it has enough spectrum today to meet current growth projections. But they say more is needed on the road.

This is why the Federal Communications Commission is working to obtain an additional 500 MHz of wireless technology on the market in the next decade with a plan for 300 MHz spectrum to be released in the next five years.

However, the addition of more spectrum takes time and will not be enough to solve the capacity crunch that wireless carriers will likely face in the coming years. Shetty said that wireless operators have to be more efficient in how to use their network resources. Shetty said Cisco has technology that can help mobile operators to improve network efficiency.

“There are many demands and challenges that companies face to meet demand,” he said. “Cisco can help to better engineer the network. And we can scale the network.”

But companies also need to invest in other network technologies to help meet demand. This will likely include download traffic on femto cell and Wi-Fi.

It can also mean a change in business models to encourage consumers to use mobile data more efficiently. Last June, AT & T removed the unlimited data plan and began offering a range of service levels, data usage caps. Other mobile operators in the U.S. have not followed yet. But Verizon Wireless, the largest U.S. wireless serviceHas indicated that it will move to differential pricing. If you get rid of an unlimited number of all remains unknown. But the company is likely to increase the price of unlimited if he keeps everything.

The other wild card in this whole scenario are the tablets and other devices. The more people in the world today have cell phones that have electricity, Tablet PC devices such as the ability to eat more because they can not do much more than many mobile phones.

Do not take the tablets for nearly the same amount in the world that has a significant effect on network load. For example, a smart phone generates about 24 times more data in a wireless phone for basic functions. However, a pill generates consumption of about 122 times more data than a basic feature phone, according to Cisco.

Webster said that a year ago, the tablets were not on the radar screen when it comes to predicting the future growth of mobile data. But with the introduction of the Apple iPad last year and now a growing number of Tablet PC, the category is expected to have a significant effect on patterns of data usage over the next five years.

“Last year was zero data traffic in the network of Tablet PC,” said Webster. “And it was basically out of nowhere to become a major contributor to traffic of the mobile network by 2015. This is indicative of how dynamic this market is a ramp type of device so quickly. It has huge implications architectural. “
